What water does this machine require?
Ascaso hasn't published a limit our check can use for this machine yet, so the check can't give it a result. Whatever the maker does say is quoted below.
Shown, but not used to decide (23)
- Total dissolved solids (TDS), 90–150 ppm. The maker's recommendation, not a limit: it doesn't decide. Applies only to the mains-connected (plumbed-in) setup. The maker's words for Total dissolved solids (TDS).
- Total hardness, 70–100 ppm. The maker's recommendation, not a limit: it doesn't decide. Applies only to the mains-connected (plumbed-in) setup. The maker's words for Total hardness.
- Total alkalinity, 40–80 ppm. The maker's recommendation, not a limit: it doesn't decide. Applies only to the mains-connected (plumbed-in) setup. The maker's words for Total alkalinity.
- pH, pH 6.5–8. The maker's recommendation, not a limit: it doesn't decide. Applies only to the mains-connected (plumbed-in) setup. The maker's words for pH.
- Total hardness, at most 85 ppm. Our reading of the maker's words is being checked again; until then it doesn't decide. The maker's words for Total hardness.
- Total hardness, at least 100 ppm (our conversion of the maker's 10 °fH). The maker's documents give different figures for this. We're verifying which applies; until then none of them decides. The maker's words for Total hardness.
